Doc Sprocket’s 1987 Centurion Turbo

Posted

Wow, where did the week go?  Just for being such a patient bunch, I’ll treat you to a nice one.  The “nice one” being Doc Sprocket’s updated/upgraded 1987 Centurion Turbo: powdered, polish, preened and ready to be put through it’s paces.  I love the powdered frames, but I do miss the decals.

THIS IS ONE FOR THE BOOKS, A FEW WEEK’S AGO  MY BUDDIE CAME OVER WITH HIS 1987 CENTURION TURBO, THAT WAS BURIED & BROKEN IN THE BACK OF HIS GARAGE TURNING TO JUNK. WITH DURACE DT SHIFTERS , CAMPI  RECORD BRAKES ,DURACE CRANK SET, DURACE DERAILLEUR SET, THE FRAME HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SIDE DROP OUT REPLACED THEN WE POWER COATED IT, A LITTLE SPIT & POLISH 1 NEW CHAIN A SET OF TIRES A NEW USED SEAT POST & SHE LIVES AGAIN

Thanks Doc

    Nice rescue work, Doc! Beautiful bike, now.
    Its prior condition must have been much too forlorn to be photographed!

    I’m curious how you’re dating this as ca. 1987. I may be mistaken, but I thought the Turbo, Centurion’s top of the line racer at the time, was only released in 1983 and 1984. I’ve been told the model became the TA Compe, which became the Dave Scott Ironman after the “TA Compe” name got into legal copyright problems. Again, I could be way off base here and I’d love to find out if you’ve got information that is different.
